The weekly In My Mailbox post is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It is fun to see what everyone else gets in their mailboxes, shopping bags, and library visits. Click on the link to The Story Siren's site to see the rules and join in the fun.I guarantee that your TBR pile will grow when you see all the wonderful books everyone gets. You will discover lots of great blogs and lots of books that you won't be able to live without.

My book haul this week was modest. I only added two books to my TBR mountain. Both were print books. I have been eagerly anticipating one for months. The other was a spur of the moment choice.

I have been wanting The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater for months. I love her intense writing style. I think that this exploration of a myth that is little known to me (water horses) ought to be very interesting. This one is getting so much blog exposure that I don't think I need to say more about it to anyone.

Wolf at the Door by Mary Janice Davidson is much more a guilty pleasure. I like her light-hearted paranormals and really like werewolves. I really like Davidson's humor. Here is the product description:

Rachel, a werewolf/accountant, is asked to keep one eye on Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor and the other peeled for a rogue werewolf who's itching to start a war. But her attention is mostly on a sexy, mysterious stranger she wishes she could trust.

About Me

I was a school library/media specialist for a small school district in Southeast Minnesota. I retired after 41 years in media centers in June 2017.
I love reading! My favorite genres are adult, YA and Middle Grade paranormals, science fiction/fantasy, and mysteries. I am also a fan of adult romances and romantic suspense.
I maintain two book blogs. Ms. Martin Teaches Media is used to blather about the YA books I read. Inside of a Dog is my home for the adult books I read.
